Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.

Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that's been nice, I'm just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is....fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they're gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they'll move home. That said, they've been talking about that for years, so I'll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I've been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.

Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.

I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I'm just...not replying. I should go do that now so I don't leave them hanging.

On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that's cool! Without giving away too much (y'all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I'll be going around the midwest. We've been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we'll have a roadie for the first time!

I'll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you! meow-hug

Life has been up and down a lot the last few months, what with moving, figuring out i’m trans, starting transitioning, getting sick, new city, ect. The next few weeks will be incredible though. Going on a long distance backpacking trip with one of my oldest friends.

Enjoy the trip comrade! Congrats on the transition!

I had high blood pressure last doctor visit. I'm working on getting it lower so I don't have to go on meds. I'm crushing beets and it's been helping a ton. Cardio has doubled. Diet healthier in general. I'll knock it out but it is a bit stressful.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hell yeah glad its getting better!

[–] Phish@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, comrade!

I've finally started to snap and be a dick to people in my life. I've been pulling too much of the share of the weight by merit of being the driver. I don't really get many opportunities to be lazy and when regret it. That said, better than I was a couple weeks ago.

The portuguese marxist leninist discord server I'm on just got its first maoist, if he starts bringing his friends I'm starting the countdown until the server implodes or becomes politically useless to the left

Kinda reeling from a couple things that happened over the past day that has me feeling a mixture of doomer thought and that sort of spite-like motivational anger. I kinda used the megas to vent a bit but I'm still feeling it and can't immediately do anything about either event so I've been blowing off steam in the meantime by blasting loud music and working on my platformer. It's working, so great strat on my part if I do say so myself!

Yo yo yo.

Working on a platformer? PLEASE LET ME TEST I FUCKING LOVE PLATFORMING GAMES! I think I actually saw some clips of it on Steam, if you're the person I'm thinking of. Also just got a high end laptop (3080TI) that I'm JUST now getting set up and familiar with if you need a range of hardware to test on.

Hope things improve for you outside of that meow-hug

[–] CombatLiberalism@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks! I hope your tour goes hard!

And omg that isn't me, I'm literally on like week 2 of learning how to make games. I'm still only working on the movement HOWEVER as soon as I have something that can be tested I'll send it your way! The vague premise I have is a vampires=bourgeoisie deal and you're a human leading a prison break from the feeding dungeons, the goal is to get to the top of the castle. That's all I have so far though

Will have to put my studies on hold to seek stationary treatment for my depression. Not like I managed much the last year anyway,better this way. I managed to get therapy, after a lot of effort from several people, but it is not helping, or at least I do not feel like I made any progress. It probably does not help that I can't arrange meetings, due to my depression.

I have a sewing machine now and I'm very eager to start sewing everything. Pants too long? hem that shit. Pant seat feels a bit off? Alterations. Shirts too large? not anymore.

I'm sure I'm about to mess up a bit, but it'll be fine. I'm just happy I get to learn a new useful skill to add to my skills cabinet.

Mostly good, but can't find the motivation to work on my studies as much as I should. Lots of stuff to do, kinda overwhelmed sometimes, stressing a bit about many things. But no major problem.

Finally locked down an advisor on my third attempt. And apparently the project will hopefully move kind of quickly (relatively speaking) so I can get tf out of wretched academia
